It is amazing how one job creates another (both jobs being quite large) but the end product is well worth the hassle. Over the Summer holidays, a new floor was laid in the Reception classroom and what a difference it made. I couldn’t believe how much it highlighted the horrendous walls which seemed to glow a sickly off cream colour with the odd mark of felt tip and paint. It just wouldn’t do so an emergency paint job quickly followed the laying of the floor. I am happy to say that the classroom looks stunning and fresh-all ready for our busy little starters. A new rabbit kingdom has been created and ‘Cluckingdom Palace’ sits proudly in the animal area nearest the garage.
We have reached the time of year where I struggle to hold back the tears. Yesterday was Pre-School sports day and the children were amazing! At the same time, the whole school went on a trip to Lytham, some children undertook Grade 1 music exams and Mr.Gilmour, Miss Taylor and I remained in school with the wonderful task of organising school reports!
Here is our new minibus! This is such an exciting time for us because we will be able to use the bus for UFA, year group trips, music days, sport competitions and visiting other school and nurseries.
I can’t begin to tell you how proud we all are with our Year 6 class. You wouldn’t have been able to tell that SATs was taking place in our school at all because calmness and positivity has filled the air. The children took each day in their stride and staff have certainly ensured that the children are prepared and keep their outlook that they can only do their best. Well done to our Year 6 role models. You are all an inspiration and an absolute delight. Mrs Rossall has worked so hard to prepare the children, as have all staff within the class. There really was a compliment for you Mrs Rossall when I described you in today’s assembly as a solid block of cheese!
What a great week we have had. New topics bring new enthusiasm and our new school areas are making an enormous impact on learning. Children are gardening and looking after our beautiful animals daily- and always without being asked. UFA groups are exciting and the sunshine is bringing an extra something that we have missed…playing on the school field at break times!
